I still have to focus on 1.0.x since applications have to go on Java
1.4. We're planning Java 5.0/JAXB 2.0 versions for the spring next year.

Well, again 2.0. ;)
I think, if focusing on a simple non-universal dumping tailored for the
help file generation, the first task from two above becomes quite simple.

Really nice. ;) Thanks.
Unfortinatelly, generated docs are developer-oriented rather than
user-oriented. Suits for me but not for mu users - subject are experts.
Kohsuke, thanks for support.
I think, help generation will be open source.
Bye.
